5 Psychological facts about cheating women

Psychological facts about cheating women

You're probably reading this headline and thinking, men cheat way more than women, and although there are a lot of things to know about men who cheat it's a whole different job.  Although many would agree that men cheat more than women, the truth is that both sexes cheat on their partners for a variety of different reasons.  However, when you compare the two, you will find that there are some similar characteristics for both male and female cheaters.  This particular post will focus on some of the reasons or facts about these women who cheat on their significant other.

Maybe you start dating in your late teens and tell yourself that you would never, ever, ever in a million years cheat.  Maybe you've been cheating on yourself and stood your ground firmly so you'd never be weak until you did it to someone else.  Many things can happen that make women more likely to deviate from their partners.  Relationships change over time, issues are swept under the rug rather than addressed, and sometimes people fall out of love and cannot bear to hurt their partner, even if it means chronic unhappiness and putting them in a position that might enable them to cheat with the least bit of guilt.  Beliefs about the subjectively appropriate behavior of those involved in the relationship.

Here are 5 facts about some women who commit adultery that you may already know, and some of which may really surprise you.

1. Women cheat for emotional reasons

This should come as no surprise since the stereotype is that men cheat to get instant intimate gratification, while women cheat for reasons other than getting it.  These women, who cheat for emotional reasons, may be experiencing a lack of intimacy at home.  

This does not mean that they are not intimate with their partner, but the intimacy they experience creates a gap that must be filled with intimacy and true human connection, which is not the case with others.  Studies show that while men want to fill that void, women try to fill more of the emotional void, even when it comes to sexuality.  If a lady does not feel loved or cared for, this makes her more open to looking elsewhere to prove this relationship that she does not get in her primary relationship.  

This cheating could be as simple as her needing someone to pick her up, hold her hand, cuddle her, or just rub her feet and listen to her talk about her day;  It can also be claimed because she is in a sexless relationship that she feels she can fix in this way because she likes so many things about her partner and doesn't feel the lack of intimacy is enough of a reason for him to leave.

2. She can't get any satisfaction

Another stereotype is that women always want more, but it's not entirely wrong.  Women are often dissatisfied with what they have in front of them, and they are more likely to pursue this idea than more.  They suffer from what would be referred to as BBD syndrome — not to be confused with body dysmorphic disorder, but in this case, bigger syndrome is a better deal.  

They may have a close friend and intimate intimacy but their partner has a hard time communicating their feelings so they prefer to "exchange" the two they have in hopes of securing the three in their next conquest.  Some of these women have unrealistic expectations.  

These particular women are turned on by ego and will turn elsewhere if their respective needs and wants are not met by their current partner, which is really an unfair standard to set.  If he has a job and you have two kids, he can't really take care of every need you need in addition to his kids and career.  This can be said to be one of the reasons vibrators were created.

3. It could be in her genes

No one likes to admit that some of their normal human faults can be blamed on simple genetics, but in some cases, it can be the culprit.  Yes, you can also partially blame your bottom line on your mom's genetics, who also had the same thunderous thighs.  Historically, according to WebMD, "women paired up with a proto-mate to have children. 

But when women went out to collect food, they would sleep with other men, take out an insurance policy to have someone help raise the children and provide resources in the event of their partner's death... Women who sleep around collecting more meat, protection, and resources from their lovers.... 

She may have an extra child to create more genetic diversity in her lineage; if some children die, others will live."  Back in the day when men hunted and their alpha male gene was induced to put seeds in as many women as possible to ensure successful, healthy and numerous offspring, the women were out there, securing the survival of their families.

4. Women cheat because of a lack of communication

Communication is one of the foundations of a healthy, successful relationship.  Couples who have been married for decades will tell you that communication is one of the reasons they have been able to stay together for all those years.  

But what happens when communication fades away?  Well, with women, this can lead to them looking for that connection elsewhere.  

In a research study that surveyed adults, whether in a faithful or unfaithful relationship, psychiatrist M.  Gary Newman found that those who were faithful spoke to their partner from 30 to 60 minutes per day, while cheaters talked to their partner in less than 5 minutes per day.  

What that means is that most of the time, cheating on her partner can be fixed if he just sits down and has small talk with her daily.  This whole study raises the question: If a 90-year-old couple can stay together and communicate effectively, why can't this generation of 20-somethings?

5. She probably has low self-esteem

Low self-esteem can lead to many problems, from eating disorders and depression to the possibility of your partner cheating.  Many women enter into relationships to start families, but it goes much further than that.  Women want to be with someone who makes them feel special, beautiful, and important.  

She wants to be with someone who is supportive, loving, caring and makes her laugh.  She wants to be with someone who brings out the best part of her.  And if she doesn't get that from her primary partner, the possibility of her cheating increases because he's trying her best to satisfy those psychological needs from someone else.  

Self-worth can be greatly increased by having an affair because it drives the mindset that this other person cares deeply and wants to be with you.  The moral of men everywhere is this: If you build a woman, she can move mountains, and she will move them for you and be with you.
